Chapter 225: The Bronze Age
At the same time as the transaction was completed, Ye Qingxuan also sent over the cultivation experience of those vegetables and fruits and the breeding experience of chickens, ducks and poultry quite intimately, which saved Luo Ji a lot of things.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ji didn't bother to distinguish between the cultivation of crops and the breeding of chickens, ducks and poultry, just like the Ordnance Department was divided into three different departments: the Research Department, the Forging Department and the Production Department.
This is not a big transfer, it is basically just a slight distribution of personnel, and then it took a day to complete the complete transfer.
As for the newly acquired medicinal materials, there is no doubt that they are all precious resources, enough for the research freaks in the Department of Pharmaceutical Research to study for a while.
By the way, the medical industry is an important industry within civilization, so the scale of the medical department is also quite large, and it is basically divided into a medical research department responsible for studying diseases and medicinal properties, a hospital responsible for diagnosis and medicine, and a medicine garden responsible for the cultivation of medicinal materials.
Each department is equipped with professional talents, for example, the medicine garden is responsible for planting medicinal materials, but they are all professional medicine farmers who are familiar with the medicinal properties of various herbs, ordinary farmers are not good, and sure enough, thanks to the civilization territory that annexed two players before, although I didn't find any particularly top talents, but there are a lot of excellent talents.
After the order was quickly issued, the ordnance forging department also officially started construction, for the smelting and refining skills of metal ores, the craftsmen of the forging department are already very familiar, the next most important thing should be the grasp of the proportion of the two ores of 'copper' and 'tin', Luo Ji directly told the craftsmen the best ratio, in the face of his adequate preparation, there is no possibility of failure at all!
Then with the completion of the forging of the first bronze battle axe, a system prompt sounded in Luo Ji's mind......
System Prompt: Congratulations to the player 'Luo Ji's civilization for successfully entering the 'Bronze Age'
System Reminder: Since your points do not meet the requirements for upgrading to a rank, but your civilization has officially entered the 'Bronze Age', you will stay in this rank for a maximum of one month based on the neutral region time, and after one month, you will be forcibly promoted to the 'Bronze Rank', so please be mentally prepared in advance.
Unsurprisingly, the system prompt sounded in his mind, although this was completely the situation he expected, but after hearing it, Luo Ji still took a deep breath hard, and then spoke, "From today onwards, all the craftsmen in the forging department will make all their efforts to make bronze weapons, and finally the craftsman who has the largest number of bronze weapons and the best quality will be rewarded with 100 copper coins, 80 copper coins for the second place, 60 copper coins for the third place, and so on!" However, if the final inspection finds that someone dares to fill the number indiscriminately, then expelled from the forging department and will never be hired! ”
Many people think that the appearance of coins will make a whole society complicated, become selfish, and even intrigue for profit, but in fact this is an inevitability.
The harder you work, the more money you make, the more money you make, the more money you make, you can upgrade from pickled steamed buns for three meals a day to eat meat for one meal, and you can also move from your own tattered tent to a refreshing and comfortable wooden house.
Therefore, as the supreme ruler of civilization, Luo Ji doesn't care at all that the people under his command have selfish desires, there is a good saying, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and if the people are observed, there are no disciples, the previous emperor, if he really checked the officials under his hands one by one, then it is estimated that most of them will have to be pushed out and beheaded.
In other words, as long as you are loyal to me, and at the same time have good enough ability to do everything, you can do all the things I have assigned to you, and do it beautifully! If you meet my requirements, and then you embezzle a dozen copper coins from the funds or proceeds of the 1,000 copper coins, will I care? There's no need to care at all, so what's the matter with turning a blind eye to you?
And how did the corrupt officials who were raided in history come from? Their mistake is that they didn't take a good sense of proportion, the ruler and the emperor, they are the boss, and the officials below are the employees, the boss eats meat, and the employees drink the broth, no problem, but once it is the other way around, you gnaw the meat yourself, and then bring a bowl of clear soup to the boss to drink, then you are looking for your own death.
Luo Ji's words were obviously a shot in the arm for the craftsmen of the Ordnance Forging Department, and they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, as craftsmen forging ordnance equipment, they were also considered high-income people in the tribe, but a hundred copper coins were still worth their wages for several months! How does this make them not excited?
And Luo Ji, who returned to the office, was not idle, he had to adjust the speed of time flow to buy more time for himself! The default time flow rate on your own side of the world is 1:10, and after that, whether you turn it fast or slow, you have to spend relative civilization points.
Luo Ji didn't dare to adjust it too ruthlessly, otherwise he would have to go bankrupt in minutes, and there were many places where civilization points needed to be used, such as the military expenses for the expedition, if he wanted to bring his three-bow bed crossbow and go out on an expedition casually, he would have to burn tens of thousands of civilization points just for military expenses, so this degree must be grasped well, in case he accidentally got rid of it, and when he found that he was going to fight a counterattack, he didn't even have the military expenses to go on the expedition, which would be too sad.
After some careful calculations, Luo Ji adjusted the time flow rate to 1:20, one day of time in the neutral area, and twenty days on his side, which was already the limit of what he could afford at present.
After that, Luo Ji decisively plunged into the development of his own civilization, and the appearance of bronze was undoubtedly a huge boost to the military, and all weapons and equipment ushered in an all-round upgrade.
Among them, the biggest change is probably Liu Zheng, the other people's weapon upgrades are just the difference between upgrading from brass weapons to bronze weapons, while Liu Zheng and Luo Ji directly changed a weapon for him.
For the axe that Liu Zheng has been using before, Luo Ji actually wanted to replace it for him a long time ago, although he has a skill that he is proficient in the axe, but it doesn't matter, the skill can be washed, throughout the entire era of cold weapons, the axe is really not a weapon with many brilliant colors, the main reason is that among similar weapons, there are too many better than the axe, such as the halberd, and then the Spring and Autumn broadsword directly named after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
When the brass halberd was made before, Luo Jiyou asked Liu Zheng to try to switch to the brass halberd, but Liu Zheng felt that it was too light, and the horizontal blade on the side was too narrow, which made him very uncomfortable to use, because the more moves he used in battle were not based on 'stabbing', but mainly on 'slashing', and 'stabbing' was just an auxiliary means, so the Spring and Autumn Broadsword obviously became his best choice!
